Pacers just pulled out their flare slip zone buster, resulting in a score for TJM. So, at least that much went right.

Made an entire bakery in the first quarter

The basketball is the most important part of basketball.

Tried to run 77 skip with split action as the counter and the OKC defense basically turned into a python.

Much better coverage against the Isaiah Joe slot screens for SGA. Tyrese just stayed with Joe, relying on Nembhard to guard, rather than preemptively stepping up to hedge. No screen, no scheme.

Myles between 3-10 feet 😬

Quicker shots, the better. “You’re never more open than when you first catch the ball” needs to be the mantra. First open look the Pacers get, they should take. Somewhat the antithesis of how the Pacers play, in terms of volume passing, but less risk of turnovers.

This is the built-in counter: x.com/c2_cooper/stat…

Time to revisit the “Hot Girl Basketball” era, Buddy Hield ethic of shoot first and ask forgiveness later.

It is the first half of Game 1 (and I can’t stress this enough) of the NBA Finals.

This is Dorture.

Brilliant read of the pre-switch from TJM to find Siakam in the corner.

Like I said:

Looks like they don’t need to trade for Middleton after all.

If you go back and watch the second half watch how much more decisive the Pacers were on offense. Took a little bit in the third but they were able to mix in their tempo as the second half wore on

On Haliburton stamping himself as an all time clutch shot maker to steal Game 1 - for Caitlin Cooper & BSW “The Pacers had the lead for .3 seconds in the whole game. That’s all this team needs. The ultimate bank robbers in the NBA. Gone in .3 seconds.” patreon.com/posts/tyrese-s…

Fun fact: Tyrese Haliburton prefers to pull-up going to his right even though he is a right-handed shooter. Hand-tracked his pull-up jumper (not step-backs, spins, or runners - straight jumpers) inside the arc Left: 5-7 Right: 22-44 Never forced him away from his dominant hand
